My guess would be that when the child tripped over the dog he managed to squash a very tender part of the dogs anatomy. Those dogs are NOT vicious.
I would agree i have 2 huskies and a 19 month old daughter,she tries to feed them ,pokes them in the eye or nose.
If i was not in the room with them,the boys would get get nasty...
No dogs (as a breed) are vicious. This is why I posted the article. Any dog can attack, and the same situation this poor child was in (with a strange dog and little direction) is what we see on the news all the time. The only difference is the breed of dog this time isn’t what people expect, making them second-guess it as if this must be some special circumstance. It isn’t, and the sooner we all see what the real problem is, the sooner we can have less attacks by all dogs.
